Rethink Cincy! encompasses my efforts to give Cincinnati a playful makeover. My initiatives include four main tenets:
1) Community First, Always: Empowering neighborhoods like Hyde Park via grassroots initiatives, local events, small business support, and inclusive civic engagement.
2) Mental Health Is Public Health: Championing mental health awareness, access, and destigmatization as essential components of a healthier, more compassionate city.
3) Designing a Better Cincinnati: Using design thinking to creatively solve everyday city challenges, from infrastructure to public services, with innovation, empathy, and community input at the core.
4) The City That Works... and Plays: Reimagining public spaces, transportation, and local culture to make Cincinnati more livable, joyful, and connected—whether you're commuting, creating, or enjoying Graeter's in the park.
